Either OJ and I could be allies because Ranzmalkin's father had allied with some of OJ's enemies or maybe some dudes had double crossed OJ and suddenly he would find that his own tribe had allied with someone evil. Remember, I wrote this before I had read OJ's backstory. I could maybe change things around now that I know more about Malak.Moonglumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00921685129806166906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677554266716906155.post-68251791180496553832008-08-25T13:35:00.000-07:002008-08-25T13:35:00.000-07:00Even better, Ranzmalkin's family financed the take...Even better, Ranzmalkin's family financed the takeover, so Moonglum and Malak are actually allies in a common cause against Ranzmalkin.

That could make things VERY interesting between Malak and Moonglum.Taranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621378833811799287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677554266716906155.post-25917394874633942762008-08-25T12:55:00.000-07:002008-08-25T12:55:00.000-07:00I also enjoyed OJ's backstory very much. Good wor...I also enjoyed OJ's backstory very much. Good work Malak. You can also see I made a little note at the top, and I made a corresponding note at the end of OJ's previous "story," so go check that out.<BR/><BR/>As for tie-in's, I am a big fan as well. It was tough because I could only make a very oblique reference (so as not to restrict Lord Bolt in his own story-telling), but now that we've heard most of the stories, we can add some things in to tie it together.<BR/><BR/>For example, I told Bethany that it would be cool if she was a part of the minstrel troupe that sheltered me when I was a child. I was also thinking, now that we have Lotheryn's story, Bethany could have been childhood friends with Lotheryn, and was actually inspired by Lotheryn's mother to take up a life of singing and performing.<BR/><BR/>I could foresee a cool tie-in with Moonglum and Malak, whereby Moonglum has essentially "hired" Malak as muscle to help him track down some elusive arcane spellbook in return for Moonglum's promise to help him marshall forces to retake his homeland. Or something like that...man this is fun.Taranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621378833811799287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677554266716906155.post-67846853034641719012008-08-25T12:40:00.000-07:002008-08-25T12:40:00.000-07:00btw, my previous comment might not have illustrate...btw, my previous comment might not have illustrated this point: OJ, your backstory was tight. you def. have to focus on some type of Rage move in your character development so that Malak can get unruly on our enemies.Lord Bolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184600007061498559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677554266716906155.post-52555334643351987302008-08-25T12:39:00.000-07:002008-08-25T12:39:00.000-07:00OJ's backstory is sweet, but one of the things tha...OJ's backstory is sweet, but one of the things that I really liked about Dan's story was the potential crossover (Lost-style character interrelation) between our characters. OJ or Brian, do your dudes have anything in their background connecting them to one thing or another? I was about to draw up a sweet little "character flowchart" illustrating who knew who when, but it doesn't seem quite as applicable now.Lord Bolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184600007061498559noreply@blogger.com
